A Thank You Letter To My Freshman Year Roommate

Thanks for always being there! I couldn't have survived without you!

To My Freshman Year Roommate,

What a wild ride we had in our little dorm room, that we called home. Facebook and Instagram stalking before we met each other for the first time was probably the most anticipating moment in our lives.

I remember when we had our first phone call and I heard your southern accent, I knew it was going to be a great year. Remember the first time we met at acceptance students weekend while checking into our hotel at the same time? Wow, what a time!

Aside from our awkwardness at first, let me thank you for a few more things.

Thank you for liking me the first day you met me, and for still liking me throughout the year.

In so many ways we watched each other grow up, but not like childhood friends do. We both came to college unsure of where the year would take us and who would be by our side along the way. Lucky for us, we had each other. We saw each other grow in different ways from your typical life long friend. We saw each other make life-changing experiences.

Thank you for being mom-like, a best friend, and a sister. You were always there no matter what I needed, or how annoying I was. Our "sleepovers" every night were so fun! I loved when we would talk ourselves to sleep and we would find out so much about each other. Thank you for always going to eat with me in the dining halls. You know I couldn't eat alone. Can't forget when you introduced me to Siesta Key and David Dobrik Vlogs and we would watch them every time they came on together. Thank you for that, now I'm obsessed!

Even though freshman year is over, and we no longer live together, you will forever be my favorite roommate. The memories in that tiny room will never be forgotten. There is no other person I would have rather spent every day with. Thank you for going through those two crazy semesters with me! I am to lucky to be able to say I lived with my best friend my freshman year.

xoxo,

Your freshman year roomie

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
